Fantasy movies have the ability of entertaining audiences with the content where impossible appears to be realistic. From ancient curses to normal life changing to wild suddenly, some stories remind us about the magic that lives in the stories and stretches our imagination. Fantasy movies in Bollywood often bring up drama, comedy and horror to create something uniquely desi. From a serpent’s curse in a village to kids dancing with spirits, these movies explore themes of fate, friendship, and the unknown. Today, we are taking you on the journey of these movies that capture the magic. Each movie in the segment brings its own flavour.
Mastiii 4
Mastiii 4 is one of the best fantasy movies on ZEE5 by Milap Zaveri that stretches reality into fantasy chaos through the “Love Visa” pack, which is one week of total freedom without any questions. It is the story of Amar Saxena (Riteish Deshmukh), a zoo keeper, Prem Chawla (Aftab Shivdasani), a doctor and Meet Mehta (Vivek Oberoi), a car salesman. The three got stuck in boring marriages and crave excitement in their lives. Their wives—Bindiya (Elnaaz Norouzi), Aanchal (Shreya Sharma), and Geeta (Ruhi Singh)—turn the tables when they discover the plan and that further leads to swapped identities, wild parties, lies and a lot more.
The plot of the movie is a desi take on Hall Pass, but with the Bollywood masala, where one small lie weaves the story into the supernatural, like absurdity. The cameo appearances add magic and spice to the story. Arshad Warsi as witty Kamraj, Tusshar Kapoor as Pablo Putinwa, Nargis Fakhri as Menka and Genelia Deshmukh in a dance number bring more life to the story. Music by Meet Bros, Sajeev and Darshan is quite amazing and has become one of the most catchy numbers on DJs.
Naagmati
Naagmati brings the mythical serpent curse in a thriller world. This V.C. Vadivudaiyan movie brings ancient myth with modern suspense beautifully on screen. It is the story of R, Boominathan (Jeevan), who is a man caught in the web of mysteries tied to a shape-shifting serpent goddess. Mangamma Devi (Mallika Sherawat) is the powerful entity in the story. Police officer Suman is investigating a series of strange events, whereas Radhika (Rittika Sen) is the romantic lead, and Nagamati (Saipriya Deva) is the cursed figure in the movie.
The movie brings the story of a series of mysterious deaths and visions linked to a serpent myth. The story takes on an interesting twist when Boominathan uncovers an ancient curse where a betrayed snake goddess seeks revenge through possession and shape-shifting. It is a beautiful story of Karma, betrayal and supernatural justice.
Naag Bhoomi
Naag Bhoomi is the story of a shape-shifting serpent. This Deva Saca movie brings the story of Madan (Srikanth), who is an archaeologist and stumbles upon mysterious artefacts linked to the modern events associated with the shape-shifting serpent myth. Bindu Madhavi is connected to the curse, Karunakaran, as a sceptical friend, Aishwaraya Duttas, and Deepika is the love interest of Madan. The movie brings the story of Madan and his investigation into the strange occurrences where people change into serpents and a hidden serpent realm (Naag Bhoomi) where shape shifts guard secrets.
It is the story of discovery, danger and redemption, bringing archaeology with fantasy. Grounded and intense performance of Srikant Madan gives the feel of wonder and fear making the fantasy relatable and realistic. It is an naag lore inspired story, where serpents can shift forms. The movie brings the essence of heritage and the supernatural, making it a fresh take on Bollywood fantasy.
Rocket Gang
Rocket Gang is a Bosco Martis, a wonderful ghostly dance adventure full of emotions. This fantasy comedy movie brings Aditya Seal (Amarbir), Nikita Dutta (Tannia), Jason Tham (Bunnu), Mokshda Jaikhani (Pia), and Sahaj Singh Chahal (Sahib) in main performances. It is the story of a group of friends who summon ghosts. The spirits here are five kids (Tejas Verma, Jayshree Gogoi, Aadvik Mongia, Dipali Borkar, Siddhant Sharma) and their dance coach, who had died in a car accident caused by Amarbir.
Ranbir Kapoor cameoed in the movie as an angel. It is the story of the friends arriving at a resort and using a spirit board for calling ghosts accidently. The movie takes on an interesting twist when they decide to help the spirits and fulfill their dreams.
